Björk

Published by Alan under Music

BjorkI never quite ‘got’ Björk in her early days. But over the years have really come to appreciate her work. A lot of my friends still don’t ‘get it’. when you look at the range of what she’s done – she really is something special! I really believe she is an ‘artist’ in the true sense of the word – not just a run of the mill ‘entertainer’ (Think Robbie Williams et al and consider the difference). Apart from that she’s also very strangely attractive!

It was aimed at ordinary, working-class Londoners— black and white, Muslim and Christian, Hindu and Jew, young and old— indiscriminate attempt to slaughter, irrespective of any considerations for age, for caste, for religion or whatever.

911

Published by Alan under Current Affairs, Rants

Twin TowersIt´s hard for anyone to let this date pass without remembering what happened. I guess this will, to use an English reference, be written into history like the gun powder plot. Now there’s a thought, lets go and burn some effigies of Bin Laden… They seem to like burning our Union Flag and the Stars and Stripes, lets return the compliment.

The murdering scum who committed the atrocities on 911 will no doubt rot in their own version of hell for their deeds… Continue Reading »
